GMC Repair: brakes sticking, rubber brake hose, gmc safari


Question
Hello  i have a 92  gmc safari van  and my rear brakes were recently repaired and they have been sticking and acting as if there over tightened and when i have them re adjusted they do the same thing

Answer
Did you have the rubber brake hose(s) replaced also that are part of the rear brakes ?. reason for asking is that in many cases the inside of the rubber hoses begins to get soft and will restrict the return flow of the brake fluid from the caliper(s) back to the master cylinder.

A very commoin problem that is overlooked quite often. Just because they look OK from the outside does not mean that the rubber is weakened on the inside of the hose(s).

Replace the hose(s), Flush the system and readjust the brakes to specifications.
